WRITTEN COMMUNICATIONS
Letter from Michael Michalak - Management Plan for City-owned Property
(C-070)
A letter was received from Mr. Michalak regarding City-owned property
used as a recreational angling access for the Sacramento River and
located at the end of Rivercrest Drive in Shasta County. Mr. Michalak
explained that because the access is not paved, his home, the neigh-
borhood and the riparian foliage are covered with dust. This is only
one of numerous complaints which include litter, unlawful discharge of
weapons, motorcycle traffic and overnight camping. Mr. Michalak has
requested that the City address these problems.
City Manager Christofferson reported that the concerns raised by Mr.
Michalak are well conceived and appropriate. Staff proposes to apply
road oil or a dust palliative on a regular basis, thus providing a
temporary solution until such time as the master plan is developed and
permanent improvements installed. Signs will be posted regarding the
illegal use of the property and a general cleanup of the parking area
will follow, including trash containers placed in the area and served
on a regular basis.
Council concurred that no further action was necessary at this time.
American Red Cross
(C-050-100-200)
A letter was received from Ms. Elizabeth Wade, Executive Director of
the Shasta Area Chapter of the American Red Cross. Ms. Wade is
requesting assistance in finding another City-owned building for
lease. Ms. Wade stated that additional room for staff and phone lines
is required.
Mayor Dahl stated that it would be appropriate to refer this issue to
staff. Council Member Gard noted that the City is constantly being
asked to help organizations. She pointed out that the City is short
on space, and the Red Cross may have to start looking for an alterna-
tive space. Council Member Gard questioned if the Rotary Club was
looking into the prospect of establishing a community building site.
City Manager Christofferson stated that he would look into this.
Thomas W. Sieber, Mayor of the City of Yreka
(A-050-060-450)
A letter was received from Mr. Sieber expressing his appreciation, and
that of the City of Yreka, to Mayor Dahl for his presentation at the
Economic Task Force breakfast on May 21. Mr. Sieber made special note
of Mayor Dahl's statement that what benefits Yreka and Siskiyou County
also benefits Redding and Shasta County.
Mayor Dahl stated that he attended the breakfast with Einhard Diaz,
Chairman of the Shasta County Economic Task Force. He noted that
Siskiyou County is going through the same kind of process that Shasta
County did when developing their economic plan.
Request from C.O.R. Vette Set
(P-010-050)
A letter was received from Mr. Bill Miller requesting permission for
the C.O.R. Vette Set to hold an Auto Cross.
Mr. Bill Miller, 951 Jamison Court-Apt. 4, stated that the club is
requesting the use of Park Marina Drive, Locust Street and Athens
Avenue on Sunday, October 11, 1987 for an Auto Cross. Mr. Miller
explained that this is an ideal location, and it will not hinder
stores from conducting business.
Mayor Dahl stated that it would be appropriate to refer this issue to
staff for review and recommendation. Council Member Johannessen noted
that businesses will be notified of the occurrence of this event. He
stated that it may be appropriate for businesses on the route where
the Vulcan Tour Bicycle Race will be held to be notified also.
Council Member Johannessen suggested that the C.O.R. Vette Set also
retain the prospect of using Auditorium Drive also.
California-Oregon Transmission Project - Presentation by Henwood
Energy Services, Inc.
(E-120-025)
Mr. Ken Henwood and Ms. Gail Greeley, Henwood Energy Services, Inc.,
presented a report entitled "Presentation for the City of Redding City
Council on the California-Oregon Transmission Project," July 21, 1987
on behalf of the Forest Landowners of Shasta and Siskiyou Counties
(FLSSC). In summary, the FLSSC believe the COTP "preferred alterna-
tive routing" will have significant impacts on timber lands, that the
economic benefits of the line are not sufficient to justify this level
of impact on a basic Northern California resource and the concerns of
the FLSSC could be substantially mitigated by an eastern routing for
the line.
Mr. John Foreman, Transmission Agency of Northern California (TANC),
stated that they have gone through a long process to determine the
best COTP route. Mr. Foreman explained that the draft documents are
now available for public review. The final routing decision has not
been made, nor have the final economic plans been established.
Mr. Maury Crew, representing TANC, concurred that the Bonneville Power
Administration (BPA) has stated that there is an abundant amount of
power, the project has received extensive review and has strong
support from Congress.
Council Member Johannessen noted that the investor-owned utilities are
interested in participating in the project and that while Bonneville
is not short of power, there is a shortage of transmission capability.
Resources Manager Coleman stressed the advantages of having additional
transmission capacity in case a power failure is experienced by any of
the providers in the Western United States.
Council Member Carter emphasized that the City is looking for all
available power sources and is concerned with our forest resources as
well.
RESOLUTION HONORING AIRPORTS COMMISSIONER LIZ REGINATO
(B-080-010)
Mayor Dahl presented a resolution of appreciation to retired Airports
Commissioner Liz Reginato. Mayor Dahl noted that Ms. Reginato served
the Commission well for 28 years.
Ms. Reginato stated that she was happy to serve on the Commission.
She noted that the Airport area was a beautiful, long strip of vacant
land when she was appointed, and a great deal of vision and planning
by many people has made the Airport area great.
Council Member Gard expressed her personal appreciation to Ms.
Reginato for her vision and tenacity in working toward the protection
of the Airport area which is so important to the economy of the entire
north state.
MOTION: Made by Council Member Gard, seconded by Council Member
Fulton, that Resolution No. 87-229 be adopted, a resolution of the

PUBLIC HEARING - re Appeal of Use Permit UP-51-87, by William Fratus
and Kenneth Cazeneuve (4001 Victor Avenue)
(L-010-390)
The hour of 7:00 P.M., having arrived, Mayor Dahl opened the public
hearing re Appeal of Use Permit UP-51-87.
The following documents are on file in the office of the City Clerk:
Affidavit of Mailing - Notice of Public Hearing
Affidavit of Publication - Notice of Public Hearing
Planning Commission recommendation dated July 16, 1987
Planning and Community Development Director Perry reviewed the memo-
randum to Council dated July 16, 1987. Mr. Perry reported that the
Planning Commission approved Use Permit UP-51-87 granting the Shasta
County Office of Education permission to establish a public school on
4001 Victor Avenue. Dr. Cazeneuve and Mr. Fratus subsequently ap-
pealed the decision, basing their appeal on the fact that the site was
once part of the Enterprise Public Utility District Sewer settling
ponds. Residents of the area have submitted numerous petitions
opposed to the location because of the type of school proposed, its
proximity to a residential neighborhood and its location on a former
sewage lagoon.
It is the opinion of staff that the school facility is consistent with
the General Plan, the location has substantial buffering between
adjoining properties, and Victor Avenue provides excellent access that
will alleviate any traffic impact on adjoining properties. The Office
of Education has stated its intention and ability to maintain a closed
campus and believes the school will not adversely impact the
surrounding properties.
Marjorie Gates, Superintendent of Schools-Shasta County Office of
Education, explained that the school site will accommodate approxi-
mately 170 students who, for either emotional or physical reasons or
other behavioral problems, require a well-structured environment with
close supervision. Ms. Gates stated that we are required by law to
provide an education for these students.
James Gibson, 6569 Lucerne Court, explained that the school site will
be for day-time use only. Mr. Gibson stated that 60% of these chil-
dren have parents residing in Shasta County and 40% come from other
parts of the State. Students will be bussed to and from the school,
support services are available, and the staff to student ratio is one
to nine.
Bill Kipp, 6136 Riverside Drive, Superintendent Redding Elementary
School District, stated that this educational facility enables us to
turn around those children who may otherwise give up, and we look to
the County to provide this service. He explained that his back yard
overlooks the old Live Oak School location, and he has never experi-
enced a problem, heard a complaint or witnessed vandalism in the 12
years the school has been located there.
Leon Harroun, Assistant Superintendent of Schools, stated that this
site meets the criteria recommended by the State Department of Educa-
tion. Mr. Harroun explained that the school is being professionally
designed with the surrounding neighborhood in mind. Mr. Harroun
emphasized that soil samples are being analyzed for structure and
toxicity, and use of the site is contingent upon receipt of an en-
vironmentally sound report.
Dave Edwards, Board of Education, asked the Council to base their
decision on fact, not conjecture.
Ms. Gates stated that she would welcome the formation of a neighbor-
hood advisory committee. She explained that the traffic impact will
be less than a normal school or if the property was residentially
developed. Live Oak School has a 12-year proven track record of being
a good neighbor and it had no known effect on property values. Ms.
Gates explained that they have explored every significant site
available and none of the 16 different locations reviewed were
adequate. Ms. Gates noted that there are budgetary constraints to be
considered, and this site meets those concerns.
Afton Taylor Blurton, 3430 Riverview Drive, stated that she is a
juvenile counselor. She explained that Live Oak school has tremendous
support and staff involvement.
Paul Burdett, 1388 Court Street, Kathryn Yagiela, 4162 Alta Campo, and
John Tiller, Palo Cedro, spoke in support of the school location.
Dr. Kenneth Cazeneuve, 4022 Alta Campo, emphasized that he is con-
cerned about the possible health effects on children using this
facility. Dr. Cazeneuve explained that he contacted many health
officials and none would say it was safe to build on an old sewage
pond. Dr. Cazeneuve submitted a letter signed by 12 physicians
expressing their concern over the exposure of these children to
possible and probable environmental hazards.
Joe Caporusso, 4288 Alta Campo, noted that this school provides
constant supervision of the children and is more like a prison than a
school. Mr. Caporusso stated that the reason this site is so attrac-
tive is because the City would like to trade this property for proper-
ty owned by the Office of Education. He emphasized that the neighbor-
hood is 100% residential, and he is opposed to the school on those
grounds.
Dr. Armando Gama, 3330 Churn Creek Road, stated that he is opposed to
the school because it will lower property values, and the site has not
been proven environmentally safe.
Tom Roberts, 4860 Cirrus Street, stated that he is a summer school
teacher at Live Oak, and is opposed to the Victor Avenue site because
the children attending this school have behavior problems. Mr.
Roberts noted that it is not possible to physically restrain some of
the students, and they are capable of walking off campus.
Isabel Harvey, 3958 Sunwood Drive, stated that she is concerned about
the safety of these children because of the amount of traffic on
Victor Avenue.
Lee Bickers, 2083 Martian Way, pointed out that residents on Rancho
Road have experienced health problems because of drainage from the old
sewer ponds.
August Pontes, 1722 Summerfield Court, expressed his opposition to the
school being located in a residential area. site.
John Borgic, 1717 Summerfield Court, stated that the neighborhood
should have been informed about this matter at an earlier date.
Darrell Baker, 3989 Sunwood Drive, asked Council to consider the
liability issue now, and in the future, if health problems arise from
locating the school there.
Jim Waters, 2248 Alta Campo, stated that the crime rate may increase
because of the school, and these children could adversely affect those
children residing in the neighborhood.
Lynelle Hawkins, 3969 Brightwood, stated her opposition to the site
based on environmental health reasons and inquired if other physicians
have been contacted about the soils tests.
In rebuttal, Ms. Gates advised that State criteria demands that a
school not be located within a two mile radius of an airport, and
there are three airports in the Redding vicinity. She pointed out
that, at most, only 5% of the children would be walking to school.
Ms. Gates emphasized that these children are not prisoners, and the
school is not a correctional facility like Juvenile Hall.
Ms. Gates explained that they have spent $19,000 on a soils study, and
they are now awaiting the results. Soil samples have been taken from
43 holes, up to nine feet deep, on and off the building site. Ms.
Gates emphasized that they will not proceed if the study results
indicate the area is not environmentally sound.
Police Chief Whitmer stated that there has been no crime attributed to
Live Oak School, and it is not considered to be a police problem.
MOTION: Made by Council Member Fulton, seconded by Council Member
Johannessen, that the public hearing be closed. The Vote: Unanimous
Ayes
Council Member Johannessen noted that the residents have legitimate
concerns. He stated that the school should not impact the character
of the neighborhood, and traffic should not be a problem. Council
Member Johannessen stated that he has not heard definite answers
concerning chemicals in the soil, and he is uncomfortable with the
fact that the soils study has not been completed.
Council Member Fulton reemphasized that Shasta County Schools will not
proceed if the soils report comes back negative.
Council Member Carter stated that the site is the problem. It consti-
tutes a major intrusion upon a residential area, and the school should
be located in a rural area.
Mayor Dahl noted that the comments made this evening have been honest
and sincere. He stated that the health issue is valid, and this
concern must be mitigated. He noted that the school must be located

impact on regional communities. Council Member Carter asked Council
to consider membership in this group. He stated that he will continue
to be a representative in this organization and monitor its activities
for the City.
Council Member Carter pointed out that timber and related industries
are the major economic base for this community. Last year, schools
and roads received 4.5 million dollars in funds from the timber
industry.
Council Member Gard pointed out that we may not always support the
groups particular position, and it may be preferable to issue letters
of support instead. Council Member Carter responded that SHARE is
supported by school groups and a broad base of community leaders. He
explained that Redding has a stake in the future of timber resources,

PROGRAM FOR UTILIZATION OF SEIZED ASSETS
(A-050-270 & A-050-060-555)
City Manager Christofferson reported that changes in the law now
permit law enforcement agencies to utilize assets belonging to
criminals which are seized in the course of law enforcement. Mr.
Christofferson recommended that some type of formalized procedure be
developed by the City for the orderly disbursement of these assets
seizure funds. Said policy would call for recommendations to be
submitted by the Police Chief through the City Manager to the City
Council for consideration by Council.
MOTION: Made by Council Member Fulton, seconded by Council Member
Gard, to adopt a policy whereby the disbursement of assets seizure
funds will be proposed by the Police Chief, endorsed by the City

available for this purpose, and it is recommended that $6,800 in said
funds be allocated for this purpose.
MOTION: Made by Council Member Gard, seconded by Council Member

GUN CLUB TRANSITION
(C-070-010-050)
City Manager Christofferson reported that staff has been exploring the
feasibility of relocating the Gun Club to a variety of locations, the
most promising being the Seven Lakes Hunting Club located 12 miles
northeast of the City.
Mr. Christofferson stated that if it is Council's judgment that the
public interest would be served by providing a shooting facility of
this type in order to facilitate Gun Club programs, training of
law-enforcement officers, provision of recreational facilities for the
general public, and the avoidance of public safety problems that might
arise through the non-availability of an approved range, it is recom-
mended that the facility be appraised to justify the $850,000 asking
price and contemplate opening an escrow for the placement of a depos-
it. Mr. Christofferson explained that the deposit would be refundable
if Shasta County does not grant a use permit. He added that staff
will continue to seek financing through the California Cities Financ-
ing Corporation and work towards securing grant funding.
Mr. Christofferson noted that opposition has been raised from the
neighborhood, and it is the intention of the Gun Club to hold public
meetings to rectify this matter.
Glen Cameron, President of the Gun Club, stated that it is their
intention to hold public meetings, on the property itself, and explain
what kind of activities will be held there and how they will alleviate
concerns regarding noise, safety and dust.
Council Member Johannessen emphasized that this is not just a commit-
ment to the Gun Club, this action is in support of a sports facility
for private citizens, as well as hunters and law enforcement person-
nel.
Mr. Cameron noted that since the Gun Club has closed, they have
received many requests from deer hunters wishing to site their deer
rifles. He expressed his concern that hunters will be siting their
rifles out in the country.
MOTION: Made by Council Member Johannessen, seconded by Council Member Carter, approving the purchase of Seven Lakes Hunting Club in
concept, securing the property with a $50,000 deposit, to be split
with the Gun Club, and approving the purchase contingent upon Shasta
County granting approval of a use permit. The Vote: Unanimous Ayes
Council Member Gard noted that we are guaranteeing the bonds with
general funds because there is no revenue stream.

tives are available to speed up the process, among them are the option
of eliminating the RFP process or decreasing the time frame for

process to be bypassed. Council Member Carter noted that the Regional
Sewer Committee wants to go through the RFP process.
